cr numberless absurd speculations which have well nigh converted the Supper of the Lord into a banquet of cannibals . " P . 442 . He describes marriage as a purely civil compact ,, requiring neither priest nor altar .
In church-government he agrees with the Independents ; holding that religion is to be protected by the civil magistrate , not forced upon the people , that bishops and elders are the
same character in the New Testament , that the right of election to all offices is in the people , and that any believer endowed with the necessary gifts is competent to act as a minister .
Finally , the Milton Creed embraces the resurrection of the same body , the Millenium or Thousand Years ' personal reign of Christ upon the earth , the locality of hell and the eternity of punishment . The form of the Treatise is too
scholastic to allow it to be popular , even if the singularity of some of its doctrines would not turn away the people from it . There is a profusion of Scripture , but the succession of a number of texts without comment is

memorial of the independence and integrity of the author ' s mind , and its influence will , we calculate , be seen in taking off the edge of the odium ecclesiasticum from what is called
heresy . Mr . Sumner , the Translator , is entitled to high praise .

Prebendary of Canterbury making the apology for Milton ' s Antitrinitarianism , that he lived before Waterland . But , upon the whole , we admire his forbearance as a Churchman , and heartily thank him for so faithful a
fulfilment of the liberal wish of the King , so truly honourable to His Majesty , that this undoubted relic of the great . Milton ' s should be given pure and entire to the world , and also placed by means of a translation in the hands of the British Public .
